• So pink…

  
  Pharyngula — Authority: 739

  SteamPunk Art, Strange Fiction Fantasy Paintings and Illustration by Myke Amend — Authority: 418
  I reached the point where I *wanted* to add “just a little bit more”, but my instincts were telling me that might be detrimental to the cause and I called it “done”… typically, as one learns over thousands of years of banishment to Earth, this is the point where one more brush stroke equals “overworked”. ...
